Microsoft/Nintendo Fanboys

ps3 isn't the biggest seller as the wii was and still is. i work part time in toys r us and we sold 8 on the launch date (when having 30 to sell) and when the wii was launched we had customers queing out of the car park. the ps3 is a fantastic console but lets be honest, who has £400-£500 lying around?? the wii wins it for me

Wii definately isn't region free, which is a shame! PS3 is region free for games but not for Blu-Ray or DVD movies

Read and weap,
I've been fed up of peole saying "PS3 is shit" "its to expensive"(agreed) "its not even selling any" and to that last statement, i give you this, figures

PlayStation breaks sales records  
 
PS3 165,000 in first 2 days
Wii 105,000           "
Xbox 71,000          "


I cant wait for mine, might pick it up from the states when im over there.

Just one flaw there Chubbs.

Microsoft made 71,000 Xbox 360's available for launch and they all sold.
Nintendo made 105,000 Wii's available for launch and they all sold.

Sony may have shifted 165,000 PS3's but many more still sit on shop shelves up and down the country.

Worringly for Sony are the latest sales figures from the USA (February 2007):

DS: 485,000

Wii: 335,000

PS2: 295,000

360: 228,000

PSP: 176,000

GBA: 136,000

PS3: 127,000

I went into Comet the other day and even they had a fair few PS3's for sale, the fact is the console itself is too expensive.

Agreed. When you consider a PS2 was only roughly £350 brand new the PS3 is a rip-off (although I still want one   )

I'm loving my new 360, don't see the point in investing in a PS3 unless you have a decent HD tely - then you have to buy the appropriate wires as well.

Then again I'm always behind the times.

PS3 is defo region free, i have done my research.

I can pick one up from best buy for around 300 quid

$599 plus tax @ 1.96 is more like 350 ukp.

A HDMI cable? Well that adds another £5 then.

The funny thing is Sony's official HDMI cable is selling for roughly £20, a bloke at work went to pick his up and Sony hadn't sent any to them, he told them that it wasn't his problem so he ended up getting a diferent one that was in Currys for £30 without having to pay the extra £10.

I think I'm going to wait until Pro Evo 7 comes out before I think about getting a PS3
